NATO recommitted to direct war with Russia by 2030, with or without the U.S. it seems, as Trump’s fruity Iran policy plays in a loop with Israel ready to relaunch full-scale war. Ray McGovern, Scott Ritter. WATCH the Replay.

I feel concerned about Scot in this week’s TWTW. He seems to be getting polarised and full of hate and killing. Ray I think was trying to put in balance, Although I think he perhaps makes a mistake to think that Gilbert Doctorow can be trusted to write the truth about what is going on in the Kremlin except from a Western view.
I am reading a book World Enemy No 1 by Jochem Hellbeck which shows how World War 2 was a totally different war and experience from the Western Allies
If you don’t like what Mr. Ritter is saying, perhaps you should focus more on mainstream Western Media, state controlled, propaganda outlets.
Why would anybody in a sane state of mind in Europe want a war with Russia. NATO is supposed to be a “defense brotherhood” – should Europe invade Russia in self defense like Israel has been doing to their neighbours for now nearly three years(?). Europe stands to gain nothing other than pain. Russia in the other hand have showed over and over again – that if the whole nation needs to live on soup and possible a piece of chicken in the soup once a week – the Russian people’s will do that. Russia lost more people in uniform in WWII than all the allied losses aggregated and plus the German losses. While D-Day is widely celebrated by the allies – balance the numbers against Stalingrad – the battle that turned the tide of WWII. I am a European – and the peoples of Europe are way too comfortable to want a war. The Germans didn’t utter a word – when strategic infrastructure for German industrial energy supply etc etc (Nord stream 1 & 2) were sabotaged – with all the consequences that has had for all of Europe s energy supply/prices. Which Europeans are going to go to war – for what – their schnitzels ? The reality of Europe is tolerance eating Europe from inside. There will not be a sixth republic in france – the next step will be the first Khalifate ;)
I find it rather amazing that The Empire of the Free World just assumes that Russia and China will both just sit and wait for The Empire to declare war upon them. The Europeans are yelling in a bloodthirsty manner that they want war with Russia. That they must have war with Russia. The Evil Russians Must be Destroyed, that is the unified European slogan. Then, the Europeans turn around and say that they are not ready for war, that they are well behind Russia in drones and air-defense, and that they must starve their people and deny them healthcare and retirements so that they can build up such that in the future they will be ready for the War with Russia that they obsessively desire.
The obvious question would be … why would Russia wait for the Europeans to catch up?
The next obvious question is why don’t the people of Europe throw these fools out, and lock them up for their corruption, and instead decide for peace?
There is a constant message from Gen. Butler’s ‘War is a Racket’ to Goering’s interview at Nuremberg…. Ordinary people have nothing real to gain from war, but can lose their lives because of war. If there is a ‘victory’ in the war, the oligarchs will get the benefits of that victory. The best an ordinary person can hope for is to live through it.
Chapter One, of “War is a Racket” by USMC General Smedley Butler, opens with:
“WAR is a racket. It always has been.
It is possibly the oldest, easily the most profitable, surely the most vicious. It is the only one international in
scope. It is the only one in which the profits are reckoned in dollars and the losses in lives.”
You won’t get the dollars, but you will pay with your life.
Your two questions are ones I have been askingf myself for ages. I have never heard them uttered on any radio/TV programme. The people cannot throw the warmongers out as they have no power to do so – elections don’t count nor do massive demonstrations – see the 2 million against the Iraq war seen in London.
The West, especially the European Union’s intensified and re-committed Russia phobia is part and parcel of a Zionist agenda of a Greater Israel, and the West’s psychopathic need to control Russia and it wealth of natural resources.
All this war talk by the West is designed to take the pressure off Israel, so it’s genocidal campaign and land grabbing can continue in Lebanon, Gaza and Syria.
The Zionists want to control Russia, and the entire Middle East.
i’m only half way through watching this replay, but reading the latest news from europe. France and the “coalition of the willing” (as they are termed) is hosting zelensky with regard to more help for Kyiv and forcing Putin towards negotiations:
“Germany joins France in summoning Russian ambassador over alleged cyber, hybrid attacks
Meanwhile, Germany joined France (10:14) in summoning the Russian ambassador to Berlin over what the EU alleges were Russian cyber-attacks against several EU countries and Ukraine (10:38, 10:52).
The German foreign ministry said the attacks were unacceptable and would be met with decisive actions, Reuters reported.”
(from the Guardian)
i wonder what they mean by “decisive actions”.
*Decisive Action* is pile of b.s, aka propaganda, of immense proportions manufactured by the West, to condition their citizens into accepting an escalation of ever increasing military spending and to divert the public’s horror of the atrocities being committed by Israel, and the West’s obsession with controlling Iran and Russia… another form of European colonialism.
